Bitcoin To Dip Below $51K Amid Bull Run

In a recent assessment, CryptoQuant CEO, Ki Young Ju, highlighted concerning indicators in the Bitcoin market. He noted signs of short-term overheating and emphasized the potential for a correction, suggesting a maximum drawdown to $51,000 if market conditions persist.

However, Ju also pointed out the importance of monitoring retail investor activity and ETF demand as significant factors influencing market dynamics. Despite acknowledging the possibility of a Bitcoin crash, Ju refrained from dismissing it outright, citing historical precedents of 20-30% drawdowns during bullish cycles.

Notably, he said that it is normal to witness corrections during a bull run, suggesting his bullish outlook toward the flagship crypto. Notably, the recent Bitcoin crash is partially attributed to the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF outflow noted yesterday, due to a robust outflux in Grayscale’s GBTC.

In addition, several other analysts also echoed the same sentiment, suggesting a potential pullback amid the bull cycle. For instance, a prominent crypto analyst Rekt Capital predicts a potential correction in Bitcoin’s price in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Rekt Capital suggested that this correction could be part of a pre-halving retracement phase, typically followed by a robust uptrend. Despite short-term volatility, analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, citing historical patterns and the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event.
